Ricky Nelson's "Hello Mary Lou" was a 1961 hit penned by singer Gene Pitney, whose co-writer was less well known: Cayet Mangiaracina, a Dominican priest. Mangiaracina was just out of high school in 1954 when he wrote "Merry, Merry Lou," which was recorded by Bill Haley and Sam Cooke. Pitney's "Hello Mary Lou" sounded so similar that it brought a lawsuit that led to a split of the song's credits and royalties.
